Playstation To Restore Services This Week
iSimon19 writes with word that after last week's unscheduled service disruption and security breach, "On their blog last night, Playstation representatives announced they were restoring services throughout the week. This also included giving all users a month of Playstation Plus free, as well as select downloads for free with their 'Complimentary Offering and "Welcome Back" Appreciation Program.'"
Better would be some kind of detailed explanation of how the hell this could have happened in the first place, and what they have done to make sure it won't happen again...
Will be paid for by a random credit card number.
That costs them nothing. I want ID theft protection. They hinted at it, but were very vague.
It is interesting, as all "normal" PSN logins used for commenting on that blog expired last week. The cooking keeping them "logged in" to the blog had a 1 week expiration. I guess that only leaves Sony employees to be able to actually log in and comment.
OF COURSE they are fake. Try to log in and post for yourself. You try and it says "Sign in here with your PlayStation®Network ID to interact with the community and participate in the conversations." I tried and got a note saying "Site Maintenance Notice. The server is currently down for maintenance." It's the same system tied to the PSN servers that are out. Meaning these comments are being crafted by their PR and Marketing departments, as well as (possibly) other normal Sony employees and developers.
